I still consider 272 as a starting point, the terminus a quo. But it would make sense to place biblical historiography in this context, which will of course also tell us that it was not so very extraordinary, as it was also the time of Berossos on one side and Manetho on the other.
The impact of Greek culture in those days was enormous. Just think of what happened to Rome ... the old saying about Graecia capta ferocem victorem cepit. The empire of empires succumbed (or its eliote) to the vanguished Greeks. Maybe we here have something to follow up in a period when we are forgetting our Greek roots. The place of Plato and Aristitle in the Parnass must be remembered, as in the School in Athens (Rafaello's painting), and it is a treachery if our young people have not read at least Plato in school.
